My invention aims to provide a novel cuspidor support, that will prevent a 'cuspidor from being accidentallytilted or upset. In connection with thecuspidor, I utilize a spraying device for cleansing the mouth or funnel of the cuspidor, also forwashin'g matter deposited in the cuspidor. To this end, I provide a support for a cuspidor 113V", ing the body thereof provided with an opening adapted to be closed by a shutter or slide door. \Vithin the cuspidor is located a screen for-preventing solid'matte'r from entering a drain pipe provided for removing liquid matter from 'the bottom of the cuspidor. vided with a circular spraying ed to maintain the exposed evice adapt-- screen into the drain pipe.

The invention will be hereinafter consid- I ered in detail, and reference will now be had to the drawing forming a plication wherein there is i terred embodiment of my invention, but it is to be understood that the structural elements thereof can be varied or changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
